Russell finished third, one spot ahead of Hamilton.
George Russell lamented an “ugly” Canadian Grand Prix and Lewis Hamilton said his race was “shocking” as Mercedes were left to rue a missed opportunity.
Both appeared to be in the battle for victory in an action-packed race which featured two safety cars and frequent periods of rain, but the two drivers were critical of their display.“It was a pretty disastrous afternoon yesterday and today the race was shocking,” seven-time world champion Hamilton said.
“I had to just drive better today, less mistakes. Lots of mistakes over the weekend over the whole but positives to take in performance.” Despite feeling there was more Mercedes could have achieved in Canada, Russell is delighted with the team’s progress after securing their maiden podium of the campaign.
Rain before the race meant it started in wet conditions and there were plenty of drivers struggling for grip.
